but there will be some blooms
this year anyway.
The thorn-apple tree in front
of the art building will be about
half lost when the damaged parts
are removed. It is reported that
it will be at least 30 years before
the three will grow back to the
size it was before the storm. Oth
er trees in the court between the
^architecture and art building
were saved from breaking when
W. S. Hayden, assistant profes
sor of architecture, and Mr. Jette
propped them up with sticks.
Large Cost
It is estimated that it will
cost $300 to clean up the cam
pus. At present five men from
the regular campus maintenance
crew and six WPA workers are
clearing the walks. D. L. Lewis,
superintendent of the physical
plant, said that no complete plans
for caring for trees would be
made until F. A. Cuthbert, cam
pus planner, returns to the cam
...pus. Mr. Cuthbert is now in Port
land and is expected back Satur
day night.
The eight English oaks in front
of the library were given to the
school last year by J. O. Bailey,
state supreme court justice, as a
memorial to his son who had been
senior class president, were saved
from damage by having the ice
knocked off before it became too
heavy.
damage Bad
“Damage is pretty bad all over
the campus, but most things will
come through, though they won’t
look the same,” was Mr. Jette’s
comment on the tree situation.
The Oregon maple trees came
through about the best of all.
Falling branches, trees, and
wires, coupled with slick walks,
made injuries inevitable. Report
ing to the infirmary as a result
of the weather were William
Haight, with a back injury caused
when a large branch hit him;
Fred Bridenstine, who hurt his
arm when he fell on the ice, and
Peter Lamb, who received a scalp
wound when falling ice hit him.
Haight is still in the infirmary.
Broken Lines
Broken power lines brought
darkness to the campus Tuesday,
and at a late hour last night
there were still no electric lights
in the dormitories, McArthur
court, Johnson hall, faculty club,
Gerlinger half, Friendly hall, or
the library. All this is caused by
the primary wires that are down
between Thirteenth and Four
teenth on University street.
When the power failed the elec
tric fans could not be used to
send heat to the various build
ings. For this reason, and to con
serve fuel which is growing short,
the heat was turned off and not
started again until Thursday
noon.- Heat remained on at all
times in the dormitories and the
infirmary. At present all build
ings on the campus with the ex
ception of the library and Ger
linger hall have heat.
Dangerous Ice
With heat and lights off, and
ice making it dangerous to walk
outside, classes were called off
Wednesday at noon and did not
meet all day Thursday. Students
were urged to stay inside and
most of them did since they did
n’t seem to enjoy walking when
they were in constant danger of
having something fall on them or
falling on the exceedingly slick
walks. Those who did venture out

found that the middle of the
street was about the safest place
to walk since this was nearly safe
from falling limbs and wires.
Cars had turned the ice into
slush ^hich was much easier on
which to remain upright than the
ice on the sidewalks.
One of the biggest losses was
the row of birch trees from Eigh
teenth to Twenty-Third on Uni
versity street. Although the
trees will live, they have all been
greatly marred and the tops have
been broken out of most of them.
The tree apparently suffering
the greatest damage was the lo
cust tree on Thirteenth street by
the Sigma Chi house. The tree
split completely to the ground.

Business as Usual
The personnel office and the
NYA office are scheduled to put
into effect a “business as usual”
policy. This also includes the
housing secretary’s office.
Dean Onthank reported that
according to indications of pro
gress Thursday night, damage to
power lines would be repaired by
morning. He pointed out that

the campus have a fan system to
